[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 152974, member: 26980"] As long as the lighting doesn't create a dangerous rise in temperature & the tarantula has the option to fully retreat from it if needed, it shouldn't be a problem. Arboreal species would probably benefit more from a day night cycle then terrestrials or burrowing species in my opinion. I've noticed that tarantulas go for height and light when they are too cold and down and dark when too hot, regardless of where the heat is coming from or if it may be excessive. I strongly advocate using a digital infrared thermometer to make sure that there are no unsafe hot spots regardless of how modestly powered the heat source may be & how well the cage is ventilated. Check the water dish twice daily if you do this!! Dehydration can also be potentially fatal in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
